Theli's Collection

[peteOcha]

Cool stuff! Those are some great reads in there!

Some new additions arrived Friday:

Brian Keene's Castaways, bound in burlap, Bloodletting Press:




I don't know why, but I've come to love unique or textured endpapers.

Couldn't really get a good picture, but it had some nice interior art, and even more black and white art throughout.

[Theli]

Dean Koontz's Demon Seed, first UK edition, signed. This is the re-written version from 1997.

[Highbury]

Nice Koontz, had no idea the revised was done in hardcover anywhere.

[Theli]

I don't think the original was ever printed in hardcover, but I think there's a US hardcover of the revised edition too. Read the original, and liked it enough, and this copy wasn't too expensive so I figured what the hell, why not?

Really cool additions love the Brian Keene book.

The Keene book looks really cool. I am imagine it was a real bitch to bind the books in burlap though.

I have been wanting to add the Castaways book, its pretty unique.

^That's why I picked it up. It's my first Keene book. I tried The Rising a few years back, but couldn't get into it. I'm going to give it another shot though.

[peteOcha]

Nice, that Keene book is way cool.

[TJCams]

The burlap is a good and unique idea - love it!

Read the new author version.You might like that better. Rising is one of my favorites.
